Folly Farm Centre

About the venue

An environmentally sustainable, unique countryside conference venue surrounded by a 250-acre nature reserve with wildflower meadows and ancient woodlands.

Just 10 miles from central Bristol and Bath, and less than 20 minutes from Bristol Airport, Folly Farm’s location is convenient, yet peaceful, secluded and unspoiled. With five well-equipped meeting rooms and additional breakout areas, comfortable farmhouse style accommodation and breathtaking views over the Chew Valley, this lovingly restored 18th century farmhouse offers an inspirational venue for day and residential conferences, team-building, training days and corporate events. On-site caterers provide delicious locally-sourced, seasonal menus, often using produce from the organic and wildlife-friendly kitchen garden. In addition to low food miles, Folly Farm boasts many eco-features including bio-mass heating, solar energy, a reed bed sewage system, rainwater harvesting and sheep wool insulation. Folly Farm is owned by Avon Wildlife Trust; all profits are gift-aided to the Trust to protect wildlife and inspire people about the importance and benefits of nature.
